experimenting with my film in premiere

At the start of the film, I started with a black screen as I wanted to increase the viewers attention on the audio playing. I decided on the colour black as it related directly to the sombre mood of the film. The black screen lasted 24secs until the audio changed and required a visual to complement and explain it.

I decided to add captions of what the audio was saying, as I wanted to make sure it was accessible to all. The captions also allowed me to make the audio a more prominent feature of the film as the viewer would both read and hear the voice. I placed the captions in relevant areas that didn’t intentionally distract the viewer from the visuals.

With this video I was mostly looking to add some bright colour into the film. The film started off quite plain and as it went on more colours were introduced.

I decided to add a border on this clip, as I wanted to emphasise the position and the message that was displayed which was distancing yourself from things.

Throughout the film I added small snippets of black screens to display a pause, and a time for people to reflect. Some of the black screens repeated and followed a pattern near the end when the phrase, ‘I feel as if I haven’t lived at all’ was heard in the audio.

Throughout the film there are some clips that are out of focus, I did this on purpose as I wanted to dramatise the meaning of the film and to show that the definition of rebellion is blurred and is under interpretation.
